The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 raked home $340 million worldwide on its debut this weekend, but one man who won't be letting his daughters buy tickets for the sexy vampiric action flick is Mark Driscoll, an American pastor, who has written a blog calling the series a girls' version of "what porn is to teenage boys: sick, twisted, evil, dangerous, deceptive, and popular."
It doesn't sound like doing extra chores will change Driscoll's mind: "Our family car won't be driving to the theater for Twilight – or over a cliff for that matter."
"The popularity of supernatural soap operas has inspired some real-life demonic trends", he says. "Overreaction? Tell that to the kids biting, cutting, drinking blood – sometimes while having sex – and sinking deeper into the occult."
